Thinking of others at this time of year

[Mamafy]

It breaks my heart to to think of little kids in orphanages You're going to make some children very happy hun

 

[ChloesMummy]

That sounds like a fab idea, I haven't seen any but I will make a point of looking out for them..

 

[Tonks]

Ok, I have ornaments for:

Mary, aged 9
Matthew, aged 4
Mia, aged 18 months
Taylor, aged 3

So three girls and a boy.

I'm not sure what to get for a 9 year old girl? Anyone got any ideas?

 

[Rowesb]

books or a creative arty set?

 

[Mervs Mum]

Hannah Montana is popular. Or have you been told to steer away from branded stuff? Emily loved make your own jewellery kits at that age.

 

[Tonks]

Nope, there is no directions given other than where to drop the present.

Is High School Musical too young?

Going to head to Toys R Us tomorrow I think.

 

[Mervs Mum]

HSM is about the same age range too.

 

[Mamafy]

9 year olds will love anything hsm and littlest pet shop or polly pocket

 

[Tonks]

Thanks girls, will update tomorrow

In our local Asda, there is a shopping trolley at the end of the checkouts to leave a present in for the children in our area who won't be having much of a Christmas this year.. Left a few bits and bobs in there, I so feel awful though when I think of what I will have on Christmas day.. Not present wise.. Just the whole family together, laughs etc..

 

[Tonks]

Yeah thats how I feel too FebMum

Well I got the following:

18 months: Aqua draw & fairy tales book
3 years: Fairy princess dress, crown, jewels and wand
4 years: fire truck set with two cars
9 years: Hannah Montana design your own journal and a book

Dropped them off, so hopefully they will like them

 

[Mamafy]

Awww hun those are lovely presents

 

[FebMum2Be]

They are lovely gifts, I'm sure the child who gets them will be over the moon.. I would love to work with children in those situations.. But I wouldn't be able to leave work at work.. I would bring it all home with me

 

[Terrie]

is it too late to ask you to get an ornament for me hun?

 

[Katy_89]

They are a brilliant idea, we don't have anything like that here I don't think I have been looking for something.

I also like the idea of the forum doing something with toys or a collection for this kind of thing next christmas and would be happy to contribute xx
